Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 61 - Bab 70

As night fell, a cool breeze swept across the balcony, causing the pear blossoms to scatter and fall at Charlotte's feet. Griffith helped her up, but her legs were too weak, so she stumbled into his embrace. She was so hungry that her heart raced.Griffith guided her downstairs and passed through the living room where Owen was still seated. She was led into a car with a girl in the front passenger seat. She did not know who the girl was, and before she could say anything, Griffith returned to the residence."Big Brother, Brother Griffith is gone again," the girl exclaimed to Ash in the driver's seat.Hearing her soft voice, Charlotte could not help but look up. The girl seemed to have reached adulthood, but her demeanor was childish. When the girl caught her gaze, she smiled at her. And Charlotte returned with a smile as well.The girl was delighted and rummaged through her bag and handed Charlotte a piece of chocolate. Charlotte's eyes lit up, but Ash intervened."Julia, eat it y

Charlotte quickly lowered her head, using the pack of ice to shield her swollen face and wobbled back to the lounge. The pack of ice relieved her face, but the pain still lingered. She did not want to overdo the icing, fearing it might become too cold and worsen the swelling.After a while, she decided to consume some anti-inflammatory pills. She put on a face mask, went to the kitchen to grab the pills, and headed back up. Griffith was coming down the stairs with his phone, and they passed each other without a word.Once back in her room, she took the pills and poured out the melted ice before discarding the plastic bag in the trash. Lying down, her face began to burn again. She let out a sigh, unable to sleep. Suddenly, there was a sound from the walk-in closet, then her door opened. Griffith, dressed casually, walked in holding a pink ice bag. He unceremoniously tossed it to her. She hesitated for a moment, then hugged the ice bag."Am I being harsh on you?" he asked with an unsy

Griffith stopped eating and looked at Eli expressionlessly.Eli, unafraid of provoking, said, "What's the matter? I'm telling the truth. I'm not trying to ruin your marital relationship. Furthermore," he wiped his hands and casually added, "Considering the little amount of affection between you two, there's no need for me to ruin it."Griffith furrowed his brow and set down his cutleries.Eil pressed on. "Hey, has she not realized the fake divorce decree? Is she trying to be especially obedient now?"Griffith recalled Charlotte's secretive behavior and could not help but feel a bit annoyed for some reason."Eat your d*mn breakfast!" he retorted coldly.Eli seemed amused. He took a sip of tea and looked at Ash, who had been silently attending to Julia."Ash, did you see her that day? Do you think she's beautiful?" Eli asked.Ash was placing a peeled hard-boiled egg on Julia's plate. She ate the egg white and then stuffed the yolk into Ash's mouth. After swallowing the yolk, he e

After leaving the private room, Charlotte went to the restroom to freshen up. The swelling on her face managed to reduce today, but after shedding a few tears, her eyes were red again. She left the restroom after feeling better. A housekeeper reminded her that the banquet had started and she should head over.She glanced around, making sure she did not know anyone, then followed along. The banquet hall was not huge, but it was luxurious. In the center of the hall stood a grand piano. With nobody watching, she tested it out. The sound was so good that she longed to own one herself.As she reluctantly stood up, someone entered the hall. She considered moving to the side, but when she glanced over, she unexpectedly spotted Griffith. Griffith had also seen her but was surrounded by a crowd and could not escape.After a while, he managed to corner her at the corner of the hall."Didn't you say you're not coming?" he said coldly. "You were so adamant about it, yet you decided to follow m

"You want her to be Benjamin's practice partner?" Griffith asked.Bridget nodded while looking at Charlotte.Charlotte was puzzled. Wasn't piano practice a solitary activity?Griffith did not respond immediately. So, Benjamin spoke up, "Uncle Griffith, is that not okay?"Meanwhile, Eli desperately signaled to Griffith.'Don't agree! That brat wants to make a move on you!' Eli exclaimed inwardly.Griffith ignored him and glanced at Charlotte, saying, "Well, she usually doesn't have much to do."Charlotte was about to voice out, but Griffith hinted at her not to."Well, that's great then. With a family member around, I can rest assured and return to Portchester City for a while," Bridget said while holding Charlotte's hand.Griffith took a sip of champagne and snorted. Just as he turned and looked at Eli, he sensed something was amiss."What's wrong with your eyes?"Feeling complicated, Eli was about to speak when he noticed Benjamin staring at him.He forced a smile and said
